【课文讲解】

①crash从上往下掉 (不及物, on)

crash in the mountain掉到山里

②a long way to go 有很长的路要走

west of / east of / south of / north of

在英文中跟方位感相连的介词有三个in, on, to

Haerbin‘s in the north of China

on是指跟一个地方有接触面

Korea is on the north of China

to是相离的概念

★前面又没the, 又没介词,  west of＝to the west of

west of前面没有任何词修饰的时候, 我们认为处于相离的概念

口语当中还有一个搭配：it is a long story.

③ A. over在此之间, 相当于during (over后如有数字则译为 “超过” )

over the years 这些年来
